Another ohiect isto provide such a corn tainer which will he a thorough protection to the goods during shipment, and also to the display ieatures, which depend upon their attractiveness and artistic appearance for their appeal.

A further object is to provide such a device which will he sim in construction, and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other ohjects in view, our invention is shown the accompanying drawings, and wi he hereinafter more fully described refe ence thereto, pointed out the In the accompan q a perspective view sition; 1'3 0 me oozes ed ll o L closed o 20 whi be employed.
